There’s a tantalizing hint in Richard Palmes’s complaint about the published transcript that some record—perhaps Hodgson’s, perhaps attorneys’ notes—was available for viewing in 1771. But since then, no. <br /><br />On the other hand, a few years ago Judge Zobel and I were surprised to read that the original of Capt. Thomas Preston’s complaint published in London had surfaced at auction after 230+ years. Though Preston told Bostonians that he had been misquoted, that document shows he hadn’t been. So some papers may yet appear.J. L.
